As we enter 5785 with hope for a sweet new year, we cannot forget those still held in Gaza nearly one year after October 7. Our hearts grieve for the almost 1,200 lives ended by Hamas on that tragic day and ache for the pain suffered by hundreds of families still recovering from their unimaginable loss. We pray for peace for the people of Israel, for the return of all the hostages, and for the safety and security of the Jewish people worldwide.
